[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-7This embodiment discloses an electric heating steam generator, including a housing 1 and an inner tank assembly 2, a soft water tank 3, a water pump 4, an isolation plate 5, and a control component 6 disposed inside the housing 1. The water pump 4 is used to pump water from the soft water tank 3 into the inner tank assembly 2. The effective water volume of the inner tank assembly 2 is less than 30L. The isolation plate 5 divides the housing 1 into a heating zone and an electric control zone arranged on the left and right. The control component 6 is disposed in the electric control zone. The inner tank assembly 2, the soft water tank 3, and the water pump 4 are arranged at intervals in the heating zone. The inner tank assembly 2 is away from the isolation plate 5.
[0028] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is divided into two independent areas by the partition plate 5, namely the heating area and the electrical control area. The heating area is used to install the heating equipment for producing steam, while the electrical control area is used to install the control component 6 for controlling the heating equipment. The inner tank component 2 is set away from the control component 6 so that the heat generated when it is heated will not affect the control component 6 or will have a very small impact. This avoids the influence of external heat on the control component 6, ensures the working efficiency of the control component 6, and thus extends its working life.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 The side of the housing 1 is equipped with an exhaust fan 11 and louvers 12 that communicate with the electrical control area. The exhaust fan 11 and louvers 12 work together to exchange heat with the air in the electrical control area, improving its heat exchange efficiency and further ensuring the working efficiency of the control components 6. In addition, for the convenience of moving the equipment, casters 13 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the housing 1.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 3-5 The inner tank assembly 2 includes an inner tank 21, a support frame 22 disposed at the bottom of the inner tank 21, a water inlet / drainage pipe fitting 23, a liquid level detector 24 disposed on the outer wall of the inner tank 21, a heating pipe 25 disposed on the inner tank 21, and a steam valve 26 and a safety valve 27 disposed on the top of the inner tank 21. The soft water tank 3, the water pump 4, and the water inlet / drainage pipe fitting 23 are connected in sequence through the water inlet pipe 201. In this embodiment, four heating pipes 25 are provided, and the four heating pipes 25 can form various combinations to realize multi-level power adjustment.
[0031] Specifically, the inner liner assembly 2 also includes a pressure control component 28 connected to the top of the inner liner 21. The pressure control component 28 includes a pressure controller 281, a pressure transmitter 282, and a pressure gauge 283. The pressure gauge 283 is disposed on the side wall of the housing 1, and the pressure controller 281 and the pressure transmitter 282 are disposed inside the housing 1.
[0032] The inner liner assembly 2 also includes a temperature detector 29 disposed inside the inner liner 21. The temperature detector is a steam temperature-controlled thermocouple.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The inner liner 21 includes an inner liner body 211, a top plate 212, a bottom plate 213, a partition 214, and a support tube 215. The top plate 212 and the bottom plate 213 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the inner liner body 211. The partition 214 is located in the middle of the inner cavity of the inner liner body 211. The top plate 212 and the bottom plate 213 are supported by the support tube 215. The top plate 212 is provided with a pressure controller interface 202, a pressure transmitter interface 203, and a pressure gauge interface. 204, steam pipe seat 205, safety valve seat 206, pressure controller interface 202, pressure transmitter interface 203 and pressure gauge interface 204 are respectively connected to pressure controller 281, pressure transmitter 282 and pressure gauge 283, steam pipe seat 205 and safety valve seat 206 are respectively connected to steam valve 26 and safety valve 27, and thermocouple interface 207 is also provided on inner cylinder 211, thermocouple interface 207 is connected to temperature detector 29.
[0034] In this embodiment, an audible and visual alarm 14 is also installed on the top of the casing 1, and a solenoid valve 31 is installed at the inlet of the soft water tank 3. Softened water enters the soft water tank 3 through the solenoid valve 31, and is then pressurized by the water pump 4 and enters the inner tank 21 through the inlet / outlet pipe 23. After passing through the heating pipe 25, steam is generated, and the steam can be discharged from the steam valve 26 on the top. The pressure gauge 283 monitors and displays the real-time steam pressure. The load of the steam generator is controlled by the safety valve 27, the pressure controller 281 (mechanical control), and the pressure transmitter 282 (electrical signal control), realizing fully automatic adjustment of the steam generator load. Specifically, when steam overpressure occurs due to abnormal conditions such as external steam supply failure, the steam generator is immediately shut down by the pressure controller 281 (mechanical control) and pressure transmitter 282 (electrical signal control). Simultaneously, the audible and visual alarm 14 sounds an alarm, and the safety valve 27 opens to release steam and relieve pressure during the control and protection actions. A steam temperature control thermocouple is installed to monitor the steam temperature in real time and output a real-time steam temperature signal. Overheating of the steam generator immediately shuts down the power supply. The multi-layered control and protection design provides a high level of automation and comprehensive safety protection devices, making the boiler easy to operate and allowing for real-time monitoring of the steam generator's operating status, ensuring safe and reliable operation. Control component 6 adopts a professional Siemens fully automatic control system, with multiple detection and protection mechanisms including the pressure controller 281, pressure transmitter 282, and temperature control thermocouple, ensuring safety and reliability.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 7The water inlet / sewage drain fitting 23 includes a water inlet / sewage drain pipe 231 located at the bottom of the inner tank 21, a connecting flange 232 and a drain flange 233 respectively located at both ends of the water inlet / sewage drain pipe 231, and a water inlet 234 located on the water inlet / sewage drain pipe 231. The water inlet 234 is close to the drain flange 234. The connecting flange 232 connects to the inner tank 21, and the drain flange 234 connects to an external sewage drain pipe. The water inlet 234 is connected to the water inlet pipe 201. This embodiment integrates sewage discharge and water inlet into one pipe, requiring only one hole in the inner tank 21, eliminating the need for separate water inlet and sewage outlet holes, thus greatly improving production efficiency. Please refer to... Figure 3 Two check valves 208 are installed at the connection between the water inlet pipe 201 and the water inlet 234. The two check valves 208 provide dual protection. When one of them fails, the other will ensure normal operation.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 6 The liquid level detector 24 includes two probe tube connectors 241 spaced apart on the side of the inner tank 21, a probe tube body 242 located at the end of the two probe tube connectors 241 away from the inner tank 21, a fixed probe plate 243 and a probe tube lower sealing plate 244 located at the top and bottom of the probe tube body 242, and two liquid level gauge interfaces 245 spaced apart on the outer wall of the probe tube body 242. The fixed probe plate 243 is used to connect a three-stage water level probe, and the liquid level gauge interface 245 is used to connect a visible liquid level glass tube. The three-stage water level probe monitors the water level in real time. When the water level is low, the water pump 4 is automatically started; when the water level is high, the water pump 4 is automatically stopped. When the water level drops below the low water level line due to abnormal conditions such as a malfunction of the water pump 4, an audible and visual alarm will be issued first. When the water level in the inner tank 21 is at the minimum safe water level line, the power will be cut off and the steam generator will be stopped immediately, and an audible and visual alarm will be issued at the same time. When the water level in the inner tank 21 is high, the protection action is the same as above. When the extreme low water level is reached, the steam generator will be stopped and locked immediately, completely eliminating water shortage accidents caused by false water levels in the steam generator. The automatic control level is high, and the safety protection devices are complete, making the steam generator easy to operate, safe and reliable in operation, and able to achieve fully automatic water supply and operation.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 The control component 6 includes a circuit board 61 located in the electrical control area, a touch screen 62 located on the outside of the housing 1, and an emergency stop switch 63.
[0038] In summary, this embodiment divides the casing 1 into an independent heating zone and an electrical control zone by means of the isolation plate 5. The electrical control zone is far away from the inner liner assembly 2, so that the heat of the inner liner assembly 2 cannot be transferred to the electrical control zone or has very little impact on the electrical control zone during operation. This reduces the impact of external heat on the control assembly 6, improves the working efficiency of the control assembly 6, avoids the situation of burning out due to excessive heat, and extends the working life.
